Rust-Oleum 150ml Flexible Fabric Spray Paint - Black

Product Information

First shake the can for at least one minute. Make sure you hear the ball rattling when you start your minute countdown. I used one and a half spray paint cans to cover two small outdoor lumbar cushions. Was it cost effective? Not really but it was a lot easier than using chalk paint and wax to paint the cushions. Final thoughts Below is the first cushion that I sprayed. You can see on the left side where I was a little too heavy handed and used too much spray paint. One downside is I did need to do three full coats of paint plus touch ups around the seams of the cushions to get good enough coverage to cover the bright pattern well.

But I wasn’t quite ready to give up. I’ve painted other fabrics over the years with great results, so I had to wonder if maybe the paint I used was the problem. Outdoor Fabric Paint Options So while a project using this paint may take all afternoon to completely finish, the active painting time will only be a few minutes. Coats of Paint Below is the second cushion I sprayed. It looks much better because I didn’t spray near as much product on the surface. Even though you do need to let the paint dry for thirty minutes between coats, it only took a few seconds to spray each coat of paint on my small pillow and a larger set of couch cushions could be done in just a few minutes.Dry and recoat times are based on 70 °F (21 °C) and 50% relative humidity. Allow more time at cooler temperatures. Dries to the touch in 1 hour and to handle in 2 hours. Fully dry in 24 hours. Machine washable in 3 days. Since it is rather costly, using it for a big job would also be very expensive. There are other ways to paint fabric; I’ve previously shared about using chalk paint and wax to paint fabric and it was really cost effective. Also there are fabric dyes like Rit Dye. I did a project on how to dye a lampshade with Rit Dye. Also, I noticed the fabric started to feel less like fabric and more crunchy. That told me it was time to quit.

I repeated the same steps as before: shake can for one minute, make sure surface is clean and dry, apply long even light coats to the surface and let dry. I am actually quite happy with the texture of my painted pillow. It is definitely much softer than the couch cushions I painted with latex paint! In fact, I doubt anyone who touched it would ever guess it had been painted. Always prepare the surface before you begin the paint job. I used a soap and water formula with a lint free cloth to wipe down the cushions. I let them dry overnight.If you are painting something with a less high-contrast pattern, you could probably get away with two coats of paint. Amount of Paint Ensure all debris is removed. Clean with soap and water, rinse and let dry. *Softer than regular spray paint. I sprayed a little too much on one end of the cushion and the paint started to puddle and drip. Don’t make this mistake!
